What is Chaplaincy?

"Providing a listening ear and building bridges of understanding and trust between work, faith, leisure and society."

What is a Chaplain?

•A person who interacts with people for their emotional and spiritual well being.

•A chaplain's visits are organised with the agreement of the management and staff.

•A chaplain remains independent of the company he or she visits.

•A chaplain, as a representative of a local faith community, acts as a bridge builder with the work place.

•The Chaplaincy service is open to all without discrimination and is confidential.Confidentiality covers all aspects of a chaplain's work, including individual conversations and information about the company.

    •Chaplains are motivated by the faith tradition they come from.

      They are not there to preach but to offer care, comfort and a listening ear.

The Chaplaincy is not a formal counselling service and should be regarded as complementing existing provisions and services.
